It is not easy for Arne Slot to achieve success like Jurgen Klopp, but the first thing he needs to do is stabilize the squad and build a playing style around Alexis Mac Allister.
The 2022 World Cup champion decided to leave Brighton to play for the Anfield team in the final days of last summer’s transfer window. And this is considered a bargain for the Merseyside Red Brigade.
Without the unfortunate decline at the end of the season, perhaps Mac Allister could have won more major titles, instead of just the Carabao Cup championship. But that’s okay, with the team’s potential, Liverpool promises to be the place to help the Argentine midfielder achieve great success in the future.
However, it is important that the Red Brigade’s leadership needs to be fierce in retaining the pillars, one of which is of course Mac Allister. Currently, Arne Slot has decided to lead Liverpool next season, and he will probably build the team around the 25-year-old midfielder for the following two reasons.
Mac Allister when he first signed with Liverpool.
Mac Allister is one of the best midfielders in the Premier League
The former Brighton star is capable of playing any position in the midfield. At the beginning of last season, when Jurgen Klopp did not have a true “number 6” in hand, he pushed Mac Allister into that role, and the results were quite good before he suffered an injury.
After returning to play, because Wataru Endo played so well in the anchor position in midfield, the Argentine star was asked to play as a “number 8”, and this is the role in which he exploded violently. . Alexis Mac Allister ended the season with 5 goals and 5 assists in the Premier League in particular.
He also averages 3 tackles per game, while also making 1.4 key passes and 1.1 successful interceptions every 90 minutes. While Dominik Szoboszlai and Wataru Endo exhausted their strength in the final months, and Ryan Gravenberch still did not contribute much, it was Mac Allister who was the inspiration that helped the team maintain competitiveness.
The 25-year-old midfielder is Liverpool’s inspiration at the end of the season.
His memorable goal against Sheffield United at home in the final round of the Premier League recently demonstrated his great star quality. That goal was similar to the scoring style of Steven Gerrard – the club’s legendary captain. And that’s exactly what fans need from Mac Allister.
Real Madrid’s manipulation
Recently, Los Blancos living legend Toni Kroos announced that he will retire after EURO 2024 ends. As is inevitable, president Florentino Perez will again turn his eyes to Europe to choose a name to replace the German star, and one of the people attracting his attention is Alexis Mac. Allister.
Faced with the irresistible attraction from the Royal Spanish Club – the team that is always considered the king of the Champions League and the greatest team in the world, any star will fall in love. To be able to keep Mac Allister here, money alone is not enough, Liverpool needs to give him a bigger position, like someone who plays a central role in the team.
